Good God, you’re getting a 757 slot for your first assignment at an “airline” and folks act like they’re being sent to the Gulags in Siberia. The 757 at FedEx, right out of the gate, is a great place to be. You’ll advance quickly in terms of relative seniority in the right seat and you’ll have the opportunity to bid out of the seat in a little over a year, worst case scenario, and move to a wide body. I did 3 years in the right seat of the 757 and had a good time (all the while on widebody pay) and flew with several captains who sat sideways working the panel before even seeing the right seat at FedEx.

757 is the BEST first airplane at FedEx, IMO. Quickest movement and you get to see the “worst” of our flying. The guys who go straight to the 777, oh boy... good luck with your first hub turn, haha. They are so spoiled.
2 yrs here, bidding 27% on the 757 and holding daytime DH’s. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone.
